iOS players can now find out why platform shooter Bang Man! got a Silver Award
Beauty is skin deep
If you're an iOS player who was intrigued by the Silver Award-winning platform shooter Bang Man!, you can now satiate your curiousity.
Yep, it has been released on iOS after winning us over on Android.
It has you catching crates out of the air to arm yourself with a gun in order to shoot enemies to get a high score.
The catch is that the guns have recoil that sends you flying back across the single floating platform.
There's actually a number on the crate they fly down in that indicates how many squares the recoil will send you flying back.
If you fall off the platform, or touch an enemy, you lose and must try again from scratch if you want to get a better score. It's tough, often involving frantic fumbling, so if you stand tall in the face of challenges such as this it should grab you.
The main issue with Bang Man! isn't its simple, engaging concept, it's the basic art work. It may put you off the game.
Really, it's the kind of game you need to play to understand the appeal. So it's a good job that it's free to download, then.
Consider this download a demo, as it actually costs 69p / 99c to unlock the full game through the single IAP.
Go on, give it a shot - we said it's a "bright, razor sharp shooter that shows how the smallest ideas can transform the simplest game into a must buy" in our review.
You can download Bang Man! for free on the App Store.
